COVID "case" meaning
Quote:
I think that the mis-handling & reporting of +COVID tests is a means in which to scare the public and is uncalled for. But it is the sign of the times. Stay healthy, exercise, eat well and stay away from sick people is always the best approach during these times.

You must trust whatever the govern tells us. You know they wouldn't lie to us.

Example: that ghastly 600,000 "COVID death count" number that is tossed around so blithely. Is that the number of people who died WITH COVID, or the mere 6% of that total (36,000) that verifiably died OF COVID? (sigh) |

"With" or "Of" or space aliens, over 500,000 more people died in 2020 than in 2019 or 2018 or 2017 or any previous year. There was something different in 2020 that resulted in those 500,000 additional deaths. The vast majority of the country (the world, really) understands that Covid was the reason for those excess deaths.

Since then, I've had multiple antibody tests (still positive) and multiple PCR tests (all negative)... I received the Moderna vaccine a soon as it was available (first week of January) and I thought I was gonna' die! Painful swollen arm (I couldn't even lift it) body aches, lethargy... I seriously though about forgoing the 2nd shot (since it was supposed to be even worse than the first one!)... Maybe it was due to my antibodies (but it was almost a year later)... Funny, the 2nd shot? Nothing... I didn't feel a thing... Go figure...

I stated that over 500,000 more people died in 2020 than in 2019. Both your fact-check links give the number of deaths in 2019 as 2.8M. One gives the number of deaths in 2020 as 3.35M (550,000 more than in 2019) and the other says that "preliminary data shows the year has already surpassed 3.2 million" (or 400,000 and growing). You might also check this data. You can add the weekly numbers in column G for each year to get yearly totals. 2019 comes in at 2,845,793 and 2020 at 3,433,852.

Agree. THIS is the reason why masking is so important, especially for the un-vaccinated. They are much more apt to be infected than vaccinated people. This asymptomatic spread was the main reason for the mask mandates in the early part of this pandemic. Those WITH symptoms were supposed to be in quarantine. Right? How can anyone not know this at this point in time???

There is probably a "normal" curve associated with the underlying comorbidities. At one end were the people who were going to die the next day no matter what, at the other end those that would have likely lived 5, 10 or even more years (depends of the "comorbidity"---Type 2 diabetes being better than stage 4 cancer). So if the average life expectancy for these comorbidities was say 2 years, all comers, then hundreds of thousands could be considered dying OF the virus, not just WITH it. |
